How to add other ringtones for notifications and calls in WhatsApp

You may WhatsApp is not an application with as many customization options as alternatives to the most commonly used messaging app globally. Even so, the platform belonging to Facebook does include options with which to modify different aspects of the app and thus adapt it to the needs of each user. In fact, at the time, we developed a guide with everything you can customize in WhatsApp without the need to resort to third-party tools.

One of these functions allows you to change the tone of calls and notifications for others already included in the application. However, it is also possible to use your sounds as alert tones in the messaging app.

Use custom ringtones and notifications on WhatsApp.

The process to use custom tones in WhatsApp is simple. Of course, first of all, keep in mind that for this, you need both an installed file browser, as well as the music or the notification tones that you want to use downloaded to the memory of your phone. To do this, for example, you can use one of the apps to download free music on Android or get hold of the more than 200 notification and call tones from the Google Pixel, available to download for free.

With this in mind, we can now begin to change WhatsApp tones to use our music. To do this, you have to follow these steps:

1. Open WhatsApp and go to the options menu from the three-dot button in the upper right.
2. Enter the “notifications” section.
3. Depending on whether you want to change the chat, group chat, or call notification tone, tap on the corresponding option.
4. When the window for selecting the source of the ringtone or notification appears, select the file explorer installed on your mobile.
5. Go to the path where you downloaded the music or sound effects, and choose the audio file you want to use.

That is all. Once the process is finished, every time you receive a call or notification from WhatsApp, the music or sound effect that you have configured will play.
